The worst is past us now, but we were stuck in the NE quadrant of the storm, which is the worst. Tornados and lots of rain, and strong wind gusts. This was tame compared to others I’ve been in.

Something tells me the Patterson line will be lower than that

I like this
it’s efficient baseball. You score one more run than the other guy, and you save the rest of the runs for another day. Find the right place, and you can get 5% interest on those saved runs, too.

This game was very much like a Usain Bolt 200M run
We just coasted after we got one run
Missouri Tigers 2008 Cotton Bowl Champs
So in the long run that Harden pick up looks better to me than C.C.
in that we get to keep Harden while C.C. will have his arm blown off by the amazing managing skills of Ned Yost Infection……
In Ned's defense,
if you had his bullpen, you’d want your starter to finish every game too.

Saw that too...not a happy camper
Wonder if it’s a music rights issue – they blackout the local commercials because of simliar issues (along with making money by selling their own spots).
I emailed MLB.TV support to find out why. We will not be denied our enjoyment of a Cubs victory celebration!!
Honesty compels me to admit
that the Reds don’t look very good.
Jason could pitch a shutout against them.
